Election Week
The rain battered me this morning when I was leafleting - I have taken the week off work for the conclusion of the campaign, and our candidate Mary D’Albert and I were out in the storm this morning. Mary is obviously significantly cleverer than me, and had remembered a coat. My t-shirt did not take kindly to the soaking it received.
Remember, there’s only two full days after today, and then it’s polling day, when the people of St Mary’s get to choose who will represent them on the Council for the next four years. Will it be the local hard working Lib Dem who has lived in Prestwich for years, understands the issues, and whose party campaigned to save our local school and who started the Village regeneration at last? Or will it be the Labour Party insider who has moved to the area to replace the Labour councillor who proposed the school closure, who represents the party bidding to close local post offices, and whose party let Prestwich decline over 21 long years of maladministration?
It’s as simple as that, and I believe that the evidence speaks for itself. We’ll be out on the streets of St Mary’s more or less non-stop over the next 72 hours, so if we see you, do stop and say hello. At busy times like this it’s always nice to stop and chat to the local people we hope to serve in the future.
